Tile Custom House. Asyet no selection of a cite for the Custom House and'Post Office has been nude. The Coni'- missionereappointed to select a location, we un derstand, have written to the Secretary of the Tftasury, asking for instructions in the matter, .especially jn regard to the size of the lot required by the Government for tho purposes designated in the Act. Until they receive an answer, of coarse thpy will not act together officially. They have - very properly, we thinfe concluded to receive no proposals unless made m writing, or when all the members of the committee are present. In connection with this matter it may not be improper for us at this time to state a fact which lately came to onr knowledge in regard to " the appropriation of $75,000 for the Custom House, &e., in this City. Heretofore the exclusive . credit of procuring the passage of the Act through Congress has been awarded to Mr. Hauptos.— No doubt that gentleman did ail in his power, so far us his influence extended, to have the bill passed; bat there were others on the ground who took quite as deep an interest in the matter as Mr. Haunoir. Onr esteemed friend and fellow citizen, Tomas Miehs, Esq., who spent most of the winter at Washington, exerted every effort in his power have the bill passed. He was con stantly amongst the Senators and Representatives, urging them, to do justice to Pittsburgh. And we have it from: good authority that had it not been for the arguments used and the influence exerted by Mr. Mxxas, the bill, in all probability, would have been lost: ~We mention this fact without the knowledge or consent of Mr. M., solely for the purpose of giving “ honor to whom honor is due." Publication of tbe Laws. The bill introduced eome time ago, by Mr. Mowry, of Somerset, providing for the publication of the Laws in the newspapers of the various counties in the State, has been reported back to the House, by the Committee on the Judiciary, to "whom it was referred, with a recommendation that it bo rugatned. We presame the Solons at Harrisburg are ashamed of tbeir own acts, and do not wish their constituents to sea them.' Nearly every State in the Union makes provisions for the publication of their legislative enactments. We would suggest to the members of oar Legislature to have their laws suspended upon the dome of the State House, in imitationof a certain.tyrant mentioned in his tory. Wes torn Virgima^oOoagsrssß. We observe that in the Wheeling Congressional district each party has its candidate in the field for Congress. Tho Whigs have again placed in nomination Hon. Thomas 5. Havmokd, the pres, ant member, and the Democrats hare selected Col. Geobgs W. Tbohmoh as their standard bearer. We have strong hopes that Col. Thompson ■ will be elected; The district undoubtedly has a hand some Democratic majority, but it was carried at the last Congressional election by the Whies in consequence of some unfortunate divisions in the Democratic ranks. These difficulties, we believe, are now healed, and Col. Tbohpsoh comes before the people as the « Union candidate," with prospect of being triumphantly elected. ScliayUUll County- The Democracy of Schuylkill county met in Convention at Orwigsburg on the lOih inst., when C. W. Heoihs was selected as Senatorial, and-F. B. KaißßHin and C. F. Jacksoh, Representative Delegates to the Hamsburg Judicial Convention, with instructions to support the Hon. Ldtheu Kiddib and the Hon. Ellis Lewis for the Su» preme Bench. The Convention passed the following resolution, which we heartily endorse -. .Resolved, That it is the duty of the Delegates composing said- Judicial Convention, to put in nomination no candidate for the Supreme Bench who isrfot known to possess the requisite experi ence and legal knowledge; for we hold that the people of the State will sacrifice every other con sideration to the. all important one of good and competent men.

From the coarse the Whigs took by the votes published last night, we presume no one will be surprised at any result that might follow. Mr. Wade, who made one of the bitterest speeches last fall against the Fugitive Slave Law, is elected U. S. Senator for six years from the 4th inst., and by the aid of Whig votes! So much for Fillmore and his Whig: administration!—so much for Whig:pretences in coaxing certain Democrats to abuse free soilers, promising to stand by them!— The result is a bright commentary on Whig poll., tics, and those who have been fooled will have ample time to reflect. fTj‘ We presume ■ the re mainder of the bargain will be carried out before an adjournment this evening. .

The Ministerial crisis forms tho principal topic in the Eogiish papers. Lord Stanley has twice failed to reconstruct a Ministry. The following is the Min isterial explanation in the House of Lords: JVilmerand Smith’s Liverpool Times says—ln tho House of Commons last night (28th ult.) Lord John Russel moved the,farther adjournment of tho Houso> as the Queen bad sent for the Duke of Wellington to take his opinion on the presont position of politi cal parties. His Lordship referred to the contradict non with which he . hed been met by D’leraeli on Monday sight relative to Lord Stanley having re fused at that time to form a Cabinet, and tho noble Lord showed that the statement which bo made was strictly correct. He professed his desire to maintain free trade, to extend tho franchise, and to put down the papal aggression, which fate bill proposed, bat stated that Lord Aberdccu and flir James Graham deemed any Icgtilative measure on the last named subject supeiflaoos. This was the point in which the negotiation failed. Lord John was followed by Mr. D’laraeii, who maintained that ha waa justified iu using (he dia* claims? in reference to the nobio Lord’s version ofthe interview - between Lord Stanley and the Queen. Sir addressed the House. While he professed his unwillingness to work with Lord John Russel, ho was opposed to an extension of tho franchise, and in relation to his Papal bill ho thought somo notice might btvobeen taken of the aggression by tho British Government—but any legislative enactment on the subject, he deprecated. Lord Stanley then made his statement and said (hat at hie first interview with her Majesty, he had advieed that au attempt be made to form a Ministry by a coalition between the snpportera of the late Ministry and the followers of Sir R. Peel. He be lieved that the cause of the abrupt resignation was the divisions on the motions of Mr. D’lsracli and Mr. Locko Jling, hut by their difficulties with respect to the question of Papal Aggression and the Budget, end ihe failure of Lord John Russel to roconatrnct (ho Ministry. He had earnestly made an attempt, bat having failed to obtain the co-operation of tho leaders of the Peelite party, he was convinced that the opposition in the House of Commons would he too great to enable his Ministry to bear ap against, and ho had accordingly tnado a communication to her Majesty to that effect. If he bad succeeded m • the attempt he should have considered it his duty to repeal the Income Tax, and to bring in measures for the relief of tbo agricultural districts, but would not have pursued so rash and hasty a course with reference to the Papal Aggression, os had been taken by the late Ministry. The noble lord sat down amidst load cheering. Somo other unimportant speeches were made be fore tbc House rose, but it is clear that tho inter regnum continues, and may esdoro for a week or even a month. As far as present appearances are concerned the Papal policy of the government has prevented tho fusion which might have otherwise tn ben place between tho Pcelitcs nod the Whigs. U is also evident that all fears of a Stanley cabinet arc at an end. What if the old Duke himself were to accept the post of Premier! More unlikely events have happened, and the present is one of those un looked for and extraordinary emergencies in.which the Dnke delights to show that ho cao succeed, where ordinary mortals fail. As a mere temporary arrangement it would not bo unpalatablo to tho country, for at present ail parties are annoyed and irritated—the wbigs at their dcfcjts, tho protection ists at their administrative weakness, and the Peel ites at the paucity of their numbers. The Duke, in fact, old as he is, could bring tbo present discordant elements into play more successfully than any other man in the kingdom, and although we have little hopes that such compromise will be scitcd, it seems the" best under the circumstances, that could bo offered. 34 votes. 44 “ 7 “ Thtf delay which has already taken placo, threat ens to extend the duration of the session iar beyond the time originally fixed for its limits, end will ne cessarily interfere with tho Hyde Park Hobby of Royalty. ■Man cut hie throat—another shot himself, and his wife took Chloroform, RocuESTnn, March 14. A mail named John Marrett, a resident of Pitts ford, cut his throat yesterday, with a razor, which put an end to his life. He left his dwelling early yesterday morning for the purpose, as wassuppo9- ed, of working on his place. He was not again seen till 8 o’clock last- evening, when his body was found about twenty rods from his house, stiff, with his throat cut and stark in death. Nothing unusual has been noticed in his manner, except, perhaps, a growing gloom, and fears of coming to want. He was a native of England, and about 32 years old. Charles McVean, a son of David McVean, Esq., of Wheatland, committed suicide by shooting him self through the heart, last evening. He was spending the evening at an uncle’s, with his wife, when suddenly he rose, kissed his.wife, and drew a pistol and shat; himself, in the presence of nil in the room. The moment his wife saw what he had done, she took a bottle of chloroform and drank it, and-it now in a very dangerous Btate.— The cause of the rash act is said to have been in consequence of some difficulty between the father end son, in relation .to the division- of some pro perty. Much sympathy is manifested for the family. ‘■HP Mr. Pebiuhaii’s Bill providing lor a com plete change in the office of Canal Commissioner, was indefinitely postponed, by a large vote, on Fri day last. .

Very little news to day, my dear Post , and no* thing at all of importance. The Free Banking bill has passed to a third reading in the Senate; and the bill to abolish the Canal Board, and the long annual Militia bill* have been killed in the House and laid in the grave, where they will sleep together for the pe* nod of one year at least. A bill has been through committee of the whole in the Senate, incorporating a company to be called the Susquehanna Railroad Company, with the power to build a railroad from Harrisburg to Sanbury, and the privilege to extend the same to Wilkesbarre or Williamsport. This bill has been proposed by Gen. Packer, and it contemplates an enterprise which will prove a blessing to Penn sylvania if ever completed. Good fortune grant it may. The Hon. Janies Buchanan, Hon. Wm. Bigler, the next Governor of Pennsylvania, and the Hon- David Wilmot, are among the last arrivals at Harrisburg. Several other distinguished individ uals have lately paid visits to the Capital, among whom I may mention the Hon. Judge Lowne, of your City, whose gentlemanly appearance and brilliant accomplishments have made him numer ous friends in our busy midst. The Judge looks like a man of great purity of character, and of a keen and discriminating intellect. His appear ance, therefore, comes in to the support of his widespread reputation. As ever, From ihe Richmond Enquirer- Important Correction. Wo take pleasure to inserting the following com. mumcation from General Bayly, correcting an error which wo committed yesterday in an article headed “ New Appraisers’ Bill!” Richmond, March 13,1851 To the Editors of the Enquirer -• Gebtleiier : My attention lias just been called to your article in the Enquirer ol this morning, [under the caption “New Appraisers’ Bill,” and also to the one which follows it from the Hartford Times, under tbo caption, “ Important Increaso of the Times ” The article Irnm tho Times is full or errors, as is so much of your article os 19 based upon its a*ate ments, and those ia which you say tho northern pa pers agree. I havo not lime to correct them in de tail, whteh I regret, as I find the law referred to is much misunderstood.. But 1 may say that it makes no change whatever in the tariff of 1846, as constru ed and administered, iroin the period of its enact ment down to thclatcdccision of the Supreme Court, by Mr, Polk’s, General Taylor’rjand tho present ad ministration. As you correctly remark in the first paragraph ol your article, « the bill ratifies and en acts tho treasury circulars and re ntahllshrs” 'the tariff 0f1846, as understood by its framers. It meets the difficulty created by the decision of the Supremo Court, which puts a construction upon the tariff of 1846 In conflict with the construction which has pre vailed at the treasury. It does that, and it does no more, except to authorize tho appointment of apprai sers at large. The appointment of them was neces sary to produce that uniformity in tho duties levied in the several porta which Is required by the consti tution. Mr. Walker earnestly recommended the bill 10 all of us provisions. It was necessary to con linue the tariff of *46, which has been so eminently succcssluf, as ho had construed and administer ed 11. Nothing could bemoro unfounded thin Ihe svale mont of the Times, ** that this law was literally smuggled though Congress.” No bill was rnoro carefully considered. It wsvdiseusscil in thoSeoate ps long ss anybody chnso 10 disensa 11, and it passed that body without opposition. Tho clisrselrr of the bill was much discussed in the pspers, and it was well understood in tho Honso of Representatives.

Curious Coir—'The following evi dence is only oue of thousands of similar ..character* and conclusively proves that Dr. Howe’s Sarsaparilla is one of the most effective remedies ever discovered:— Dr. House;— Dear Sir.—My son, when aboat six months old, broke out with that dreadful disease, Scrofu lous Sorts, over tbe face and body; anil for two years and a half I tried every means that could be suggested by my friends. I also had the advice of six or seven of the physicians in the country, without effecting a cure, and I almost wished the little sufferer dead, that it might be freed from Its pains. During the last six months, the sores were so distressing ana painful, my self ana wife were-up with it night and day, for weeks together, and tot had given up all hope of ever raising our little one; At length, a friend advised us to try your Shaker Sarsaparilla. Reluctantly 1 tried it, and 1 have reason to bless God for it, {or/in nvery short time,u heal ed up the sores, so thul there is scarcely even a scar to be seen. Wo only regret that we did not hear of and commence using it sooner, as we arc satisfied it would have saved a great deal of suffering and expense. The child is now well and hearty.
